How exasperating.—A CodfishHilku- says he accidentally offended his wife recently. When he sat down to supper lie noticed that she looked weary, and lie asked what she had been doing. She said she should think he could see. He said lie couldn’t. She said, “ Look at the room!” He said that lie couldn’t see as the room looked any different than usual. Then tho wife broke out in tears and went away from the table with her face buried in her calico apron. The truth is that room had been thoroughly cleaned that afternoon—the carpet taken up, shaken, and put down again; all the paint washed* and al 1 that, and that stupid man couldn’t see the least change. What is the use of a woman woiking herself to death, anyhow 1 A witty Frenchman defines indigestion as remorse of tho stomach, and remorse as indigestion of tho conscience.
